Spring WS sendSourceAndReceiveToResult method via POST

Question

How to use sendSourceAndReceiveToResult() from Using Spring Web Services on the Client with custom serializer?

Answer 1

The question isn't correct. Any SOAP request is POST over HTTP transport.

If we take a look to the WebServiceTemplate#sendSourceAndReceiveToResult source code, we'll see:

 Boolean retVal = doSendAndReceive(uri, transformer, requestPayload, requestCallback,
                new SourceExtractor<Boolean>() {

                    public Boolean extractData(Source source) throws IOException, TransformerException {
                        if (source != null) {
                            transformer.transform(source, responseResult);
                        }
                        return Boolean.TRUE;
                    }
                });

Pay attention to the doSendAndReceive internal method invocation. Any high-level WebServiceTemplate# API do the same. And on the backgound the org.springframework.ws.transport.http.HttpUrlConnectionMessageSender is used as default SOAP transport, where connection.setRequestMethod(HttpTransportConstants.METHOD_POST); is used to build HttpUrlConnection.

That's all.
